However! If you live with a partner who is gifted with a height that unfortunately is far taller than yours, or that falls a tad short, then you have a couple options. A tall bed (with a handy step that blends nicely in the bedroom décor) can give you a sense of opulence and regality whereas a short bed can make you feel grounded. The Japanese have been fans of low beds for centuries, in fact they’ve gone as far as creating the ‘Shikibuton’, a traditional bed that almost becomes the floor, it’s meant to connect the spirit to nature, but be careful if you have a bad back!

Reasons Why Your Bed Height Actually Matters. When choosing a new bed, it’s easy to prioritise its comfort and design and ignore something as mundane as the height of a bed. However, contrary to popular belief, bed height is actually pretty important. The height of your mattress, in addition to your bed frame, can contribute significantly to the look and even function of your bedroom, not to mention your overall comfort when getting up every morning. Whether your bed resembles the 20 mattresses in Hans Christian Andersen’s The Princess and the Pea, or consists of a measly mattress on the floor, its height can significantly affect you.

Even More Choice. If your looking for a bed to match your exact colour needs, to perhaps go with that flowery neon wallpaper you put up the other weekend (or maybe your questioning it now?), then you can always opt for an “untreated” finished timber bed. Somewhat more for the hands on approach of course, but by painting it yourself, the colours are endless to what can be achieved.
